The Project Manager leads the delivery of commercial real estate development projects from early due diligence through construction closeout, with a primary focus on site/civil design, architecture, consultant management, and coordinated lease delivery. This role partners closely with internal development, operations, construction, leasing, and finance teams and is accountable for driving scope, budget, schedule, and communication across all stakeholders.

• Develop, maintain, and communicate project budgets; track commitments, change drivers, and variance explanations; coordinate invoice review/approvals with finance.
• Create and maintain integrated project schedules; identify risks early, drive decisions, and implement action plans to protect key milestones.
• Coordinate lease delivery requirements: align design and construction deliverables with lease exhibits, TI/LL scope delineations, and turnover requirements.
• Drive delivery-phase communication: facilitate recurring project meetings, document decisions/action items, and provide concise weekly status updates.
• Support construction delivery by coordinating design clarifications, reviewing submittals/RFIs as needed, and managing stakeholder expectations through turnover and closeout.
• Maintain organized project documentation (contracts, permits, approvals, drawings, reports) and ensure reliable version control and distribution.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related field.
• Demonstrated experience managing site/civil design and permitting for commercial development projects.
• Strong understanding of consultant coordination, plan review processes, and development project delivery workflows.
• Proficiency with project budgeting, scheduling, and reporting; strong Excel skills preferred.
